Hi,
TortoiseSVN and SlikSVN both crash with runtime error on a Merge respecting ancestry. Ingore ancestry merge for the same folder\revision works. We started using SVN about 3 months ago. For the first two months everything went fine and we were _very_ happy coming from an overblown VSS. But now the problem is we are getting a runtime error on ancestry respecting merges. In this example we are merging a revision of trunk to delivery to get the fix for the customer immediately. Steps: 1) Right click on branches\delivery\SUBPRODUCT1 choose Merge 2) Merge a range of revisions 3) Choose trunk\SUBPRODUCT1 and enter revision number of the revision that contains the fix to library_file1.apl 4) Default settings (Merge depth: working copy, all checkboxes unticked, compare whitespaces 5) Click Merge 6) Status window opens: "Merging revisions ....." 7) TortoiseProcs.exe process memory usage increases rapidly (20 MB/s on my machine) 8) Memory raises to 1.8 GB and then goes back to 300 MB 9) Error message: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Libary Runtime Error! Program C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoiseProc.exe 10) Click OK 11) Error message: TortoiseProc.exe - Application Error The exception unknown software expection (0x40000015) occurred in the application at location 0x6eec26a7 System information: WinXP SP3 32bit 4GB memory Core2Duo T9300 (2.5 GHz) TortoiseSVN 1.6.10, Build 19898 - 32 Bit , 2010/07/16 15:46:08 Subversion 1.6.12, apr 1.3.8 apr-utils 1.3.9 neon 0.29.3 OpenSSL 0.9.8o 01 Jun 2010 zlib 1.2.3 SlikSVN 1.6.11.16982 1.6.11-sliksvn-tag-1.6...@935059-win32 Repository structure: root |--product1 | |--trunk | | |--SUBPRODUCT1 | | | |--Libraries | | | | |--libary_file1.apl | | | |--... | | |--SUBPRODUCT2 | |--branches | | |--delivery | | | |--SUBPRODUCT1 | | | | |--Libraries | | | | | |--library_file1.apl | | | | |--... | | | |--SUBPRODUCT2 | | |--feature-freeze | |--tags |--product2 Trunk is where the development is done. Every month trunk is copied (branched) to feature-freeze (old feature-freeze is deleted). After two weeks of testing the feature-freeze is then copied (branched) to delivery (old delivery is archived to tags and deleted).
